THE OPIUM LICENSE.

In the review OF the past year, which
appeared in the ADVERTISER of January
LIST, 1T was stated that although the
Opium License law had been approved
October Is, 1886, no license under it had
then been granted. This was an error,
as will be seen by the announcement in
our BY Authority" column A license
for four years was granted on December
3lst to Chun Lung, to import and sell
opium under the provisions of the law
Of October 18th, subject to all the con-
titions therein stated, the term to be for
Jour years from January l, 1897. We
we're ignorant of this fact when we
penned the statement referred to, and it
vas written almost in the hope that no
such license would issue.
Of course the law empowers the Cab
net to authorize the issue of this license,
and the Treasury should be enriched to-
lay by the sum of $4,000 in gold coin

IRREvERENT CEUR D,ALENE.
Advice Given TO a Munster who Tried
to Preach the Gospel.

Dakota Bell
A young man who recently gradu-
ated from an eastern theological school
went out to Murray, in the Occur
d'Alene country, to take charge of
church. The largest gambling hall
in the town was cleared for his &C.
commodation the first Sunday, one
table on which Spanish monte was
usually dealt being left for him to
stand behind. A large stock register
was laid on this, which was supposed
to represent bible. The whole town
turned out, and the young divine
preached powerful sermon. In it
he strongly denounced gambling,
horse racing, drinking, and profanity.
That afternoon he was called on by
a committee of leading citizens, one
of whom said:
"Pardner, thar's little matter we'd
like to talk over with ye. am the
chairman of the Vigilance committee. "

"Mighty possible, cap'n. Wot we
come here to say is that we don't ap.

Fair Outlook Ahead.
John Ward is in from Era, and will
leave on his return trip tomorrow

mine showing an eight foot ledge,
with solid walls, and looking finely.
The ore from this mine keeps the
Bannock Company's mill going stead
lily, and shipping from $1,000 to $500
worth of bullion every other day.
The Bannock Company is employ
ing 4o men in its mines, and about 30
in the mill, besides number of wood
choppers, teamsters, etc. Altogether
the company keeps about 100 men
steadily employed. These and 30 or
40 prospectors in the surrounding
hills keep the little town going and
prospecting, with hopes of better times
if new strikes are made.

Ringworm has broken out on me
every summer for four years. Three
years ago a large sore formed on the
back of my neck that became the
size of a silver dollar. 1t finally

would not dry up. Last summer

soon permanently dried up the sore,
and have had no eruption since.
